As chilly weather descends upon Chicago, we extend a Wellness Wednesday tip from NoMI Spa. Today, we discuss the perfect pedicure for the upcoming wintry months!

At NoMI Spa, we recognize that nail color is an essential element of a beautiful pedicure. Pedicure polish can certainly go through phases, from dark cherry, to bright coral, to candy-colored purple and glitter, just to name just a few. Many individuals will go from pedicure to pedicure, without stopping to let their toes go natural between polishes. However, the most nourished feet are smooth, soft, well-moisturized- and polish free! Winter is an excellent time to rejuvenate and refresh to regain healthy and beautiful feet.

For buffing to be as head-turning as fire engine-red toes, your feet need to look their best. Here are some tips:

Get in the habit of scrubbing your soles and heels every time you bathe and follow with body oil or moisturizer all over your feet (be sure to massage into your cuticles to keep them soft). At night, go for a thicker moisturizer.

Keep your feet protected from the sun during the day so they stay wrinkle-free in the future.

To top it off: buff. Look for a buffing block that is labeled with numbers or instructions on each side. You should start buffing (up and down or in circular motions) with the coarsest side of the buffing block and work your way to the finest side for the final buff.

Use the soft ends of the buffing block to brush away debris as you go.Done correctly, buffing will rid your nails of ridges and create a natural shine that looks almost like clear polish.

It’s Autumn in the city, and we are embracing the scents and flavors of the season. One of our NoMI Spa nail technicians, Daniela, has offered up a fall beauty tip centered around the art of DIY scrubs:

“Not only is making your own sugar scrubs cost-effective, but they’re also easily adaptable to everyone’s preference. At NoMi Spa, we love to share our DIY recipes with our clients so they can bring the luxury of a spa day into their own homes. If you delight in the autumnal scents of coffee and pumpkin, you can turn them into a sugar scrub as well.

This scrub has a variety of beneficial nutrients for your skin. The sugars help to exfoliate dead skin cells while the coconut oil is a miracle worker for the skin, as it nourishes, is antibacterial and antifungal, and proves to be an excellent moisturizer, all while bearing the scent of cookies. While coffee serves to minimize the appearance of cellulite and tightens the skin, pumpkin and honey smooth and hydrate the skin.

This multi-tasking DIY scrub is perfect to give as a gift, or to make a big batch and save it all for yourself.

Back-to-school season is just around the corner and while new clothes and supplies are must-haves, a little pampering can also go a long way for little ones who are gearing up to head back into the school hallways. Just in time, NoMI Spa is offering the perfect way to ease them back into it — a Mini- Mani & Pedi treatment.

Moms and dads alike can indulge their children in a spa day with this special treatment. Children can enjoy a luxurious and aromatic manicure or pedicure complete with a chocolate or vanilla MeBath scrub, soak and lather . While our expert spa technicians give their fingers or toes the royal treatment, we’ll also satisfy their sweet-tooth with a warm, fresh-baked Chocolate Chip Cookie right out of Pastry Chef, Meg Galus’s oven.

The Mini-Mani and Pedi treatment is $25/child, and is sure to pamper little ones to the fullest before they head back into the bustling school year. Contact our NoMI Spa staff at (312) 239-4200, who will gladly assist in confirming the reservation.

As the Fourth of July festivities approach, treat your toes to a one-of-a-kind Red, White and Blueberry pedicure at NoMI Spa during this celebratory time. Relax and take in the blueberry scents of summer with our hydrating and nourishing blueberry milk bath soak, then delight in a luxurious handmade sugar-in-the raw and fresh blueberry scrub. Concluding with a moisturizing massage infused with sweet vanilla and a mini-blueberry pie for you to enjoy crafted by NoMI Executive Pastry Chef Meg Galus, this expert pedicure experience will leave your toes 4th of July sandal ready, and your spirit rejuvenated for the summer season.

This special treatment will be available beginning today, June 30, through July 6, and is $75 per person, not including gratuity. Give us a call at NoMI Spa to book your Red, White and Blueberry pedicure at (312) 239-4200.

At NoMI Spa, promoting awareness is critical. Throughout the month of October, we are focusing on Breast Cancer Awareness Month; being conscious of what products you apply to your skin is extremely important. Treat yourself to wHet or Deborah Lippmann products when caring for your skin, and be sure to relax and accessorize your fingers and toes tailored to the specific season. Choose products that are free of harsh chemicals and make the decision to pamper yourself with purpose.
